  Research Interests
Description of Research and Scholarly or Creative Objectives
Since 2008, in my role as RCSB PDB Biocuration Team Lead, I oversee practices, management, and OneDep tool developments for data deposition, curation, validation, and remediation of the PDB archive to ensure data standardization, high quality and uniformity. Collaborating with wwPDB partners globally, I represent RCSB PDB to set common annotation practices and procedures, to establish daily operation and weekly release procedures, and to set data standards at the PDB.

As a Global Project Lead since 2015, I manage international wwPDB projects including OneDep tool and data remediation across wwPDB partner sites. I lead our on-going data analysis and strategic planning for improved PDB data representation and OneDep system. Most recently, these remediation efforts have enabled data standardization of carbohydrate entries. The OneDep system has been improved since the initial deployment and has already been used for the deposition and annotation of all new PDB entries.
